Objective To investigate the relationship between left ventricular hypertrophy and red blood cell distribution width(RDW)and microalbuminuria(MAU)in patients with hypertension combined with obesity.Methods A total of 138 patients with hypertension combined with obesity were divided into hypertrophy group(80 patients)and non-hypertrophy group(58 patients)according to the left ventricular mass index(LVMI),and an additional 80 healthy individuals in the same time period were selected as a control group.RDW and MAU were detected in each group,and their relationship with left ventricular hypertrophy was analyzed.Results RDW and MAU were higher in hypertrophy group than those in non-hypertrophy group and the control group,and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).RDW and MAU were positively correlated with left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with hypertension combined with obesity(P<0.05).Compared with non-hypertrophy group,hypertrophy group showed higher body mass index,hypertension duration and systolic blood pressure and lower HDL-C level(P<0.05).RDW,MAU,body mass index,and duration of hypertension were all high-risk factors for left ventricular hypertrophy(P<0.05).Conclusion Left ventricular hypertrophy is closely related to RDW and MAU in patients with hypertension combined with obesity,and the detection of RDW and MAU can provide a certain reference basis for the prevention and treatment of left ventricular hypertrophy in these patients.
